Road to the AEC: Margo Goldfarb Balances Graduate School and Intermediate Eventing With Her Connemara Cross
I am heading to the USEA American Eventing Championships presented by Nutrena Feeds on my 8-year-old Connemara/Thoroughbred cross Ridgetop Pirate Blue. “Pirate” was bred by my grandparents, Walter and Marynell Eyles of Ridgetop Connemaras where they stood Pirate’s sire, Landgate Bluebeard in Middlebrook, Virginia. Pirate’s dam, Queen Daisy was a quirky but nice Thoroughbred mare given to my grandparents by my late uncle, Billy Eyles. Unfortunately, Queen Daisy passed soon after Pirate was born, but efforts from my grandparents and a team of vets and fellow breeders connected Pirate with a mare who recently lost her foal, and they got along quite well. Pirate grew up on the hills in the Shenandoah Valley with other Connemaras and learned his first lessons about cross-country from going up and down natural banks and water crossings. I’m sure it has served him well in his current career!

Scattered Showers and Storms into Beginning of Week
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - A slow moving cold front is progressing through the region, continuing to bring showers and storms to central Virginia. The best chance for widespread showers and storms will likely be Sunday, as the front will be situated over the area. We will see through the weekend and Monday a marginal risk for severe storms with impacts of strong winds and isolated flooding. As for Monday, as the front moves east of our viewing area, showers and storms will taper off. Humidity during this time will hold strong, making for muggy afternoons. With the passage of the front and rain, we’ll be ready for a clean slate into next week. After Monday, we can expect lower humidity, cooler temperatures in the 70′s and low 80′s, and dry sunny days. Check back for updates.
